IFI AUDIO UNVEILS THE GO LINK MAX

iFi Audio has launched the iFi GO link Max, compact DAC.

Southport-based British HiFi brand iFi Audio have introduced the GO link Max, their latest ultra-portable DAC, the GO link Max builds on its predecessor with enhanced output capabilities, and balanced audio circuitry.

IMPROVED POWER AND BALANCED AUDIO

With up to 241mW of output power, the GO link Max offers nearly five times the power of a standard MacBook Pro headphone jack, ensuring it can handle power-hungry headphones with ease. A balanced Dual DAC configuration, built around the ES9219 chips, enables superior separation between the left and right audio channels. This results in an expansive, lifelike soundstage where instruments and vocals feel vividly placed. The addition of a 4.4mm balanced headphone output further reduces interference and distortion.

IFI GO LINK MAX

iFi has integrated technologies like THD Compensation, which minimises harmonic distortion, and Dynamic Range Enhancement, which expands the dynamic range by 6dB. Combined with its jitter-elimination and ‘Quad DAC+’ setup, the GO link Max ensures precise, clear playback of high-resolution audio formats, including PCM up to 384kHz and DSD256. A silver-plated copper cable with a helix design also shields against noise for uninterrupted listening.

Unlike many portable DACs, the GO link Max features hardware-based volume control, allowing users to adjust levels without sacrificing sound quality.

IFI GO LINK MAX PRICING & AVAILABILITY

The iFi GO link Max is available at  £79/$79/€79/$139AUD/$119CAD.
